Wrong forum -- most of us probably don't even have access to the Transformer, let alone any in-depth knowledge about it.

+1^ Dude, go to the transformer forum. Or ask ATGadmin. He;s rocking a TF Prime.
If you are not on ICS, you ain't gonna get it. Plain and simple.
If you are on ICS, well, PM me.

I am talking about the acer ring apk that acts like an app drawer when you tap the circle....I know there's an apk involved and tie in with the launcher, but I can't find a dump with the same apk and haven't had time with the gf to pull her backup yet....What I am looking for is from an acer product....I have a transformer, I have knowledge of what I want to do ,just can't seem to find it....

You can enable it on the ICS Leak by modifying build.prop - ICS Root does this for you if you tell it to do so (forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350) but on other versions I suggest you do it manually. The three lines to add to build.prop are:
acer.shell.mode=ENABLED
acer.shell.launcher.mode=ANDROID
acer.shell.contacts.mode=ENABLED

Acer Ring apk

Hi, I am looking for the Acer Ring also for my A500. The above link is not working. Can you help. Thanks in advance,

And your framework-res and SystemUI needs to support it just installing the APK is not enough.

I'm asking if any one would would he willing to give a quick check list of first things I should do when I get it. Then I can do some research based on your feed back and get it all set up. Thanks.

Download flash player from the market , then set your browser to on demand in the settings. Get feedly for your google reader or pulse, but I prefer feedly as it's much snapier. Download plume for tablet and friend caster for tablets.

One click is to much steps(irony right?)....
Do the catch recovery before reboot method which is really simple and easy. You get root and recovery at the same time.

Play with your xoom for a while then this. I would install the tiamat rom but I don't want to wipe my xoom.
I've decided to skip roms and tiamat or whatever. Looking at threads some are WiFi version only. Then some are different firmware version. I just want stock Verizon with whatever current version its at instructions. It's just to big of a mess for me to spend time digging through literally hundreds of posts researching on what should be closed threads restarted with fresh instructions. Not 4 month old threads. I'll just root adb, use setcpu, and wait for 3.2 uupdate. Then ill join in since ill know where other people are starting from.
It really is a mess. With my Droid x it was simple. A few ways to gain root and all the Roms nicely laid out ripe for the picking. Instruction clearly labled if you have firmware xxx do this, xxy do this. No wonder people are afraid to root. I am, now.

Ok I can't quit that easy. Looked at xoomforums. I think my whole problem was forum layout. Viewing this forum on their premium app jumbled everything together. Seeing everything laid out rom, kernels, ect, much easier. I'll go with launchpad 1.3 then try tiamat. At least I don't feel lost. As long I'm not browsing through their app.

When i looked through the system dump the faceunlock.apk was there so i would assume you can access it. should be in settings under security and i believe you have to have a pin set up before you can use face unlock

You would assume wrong. I refer you to the lmgtfy link; pretty much the first post has confirmation that even though the apk is there, it won't do anything, and nor has copying it over from another device worked. Asus has disabled it for whatever reason.

That seems more likely, but until somebody tries it, we don't know if Asus disabled it for a good reason.
Maybe it's relevant to the issue, but I have a Nexus S on stock ICS, and the Face Unlock feature isn't available as well.
Maybe it's only available to the Galaxy Nexus as of right now.
I have it on my Galaxy Nexus and it is kind of fun to show off but not that great unless you are always sitting in a well lit area. Not worried about it at all.

[DEV] [Q] Who wants RA-Mod?

Firstly, let me introduce myself! I'm pixdev (Jamie), web/game developer and one of the developers over at RA-Mod (I did the website).
What is RA-Mod?
RA-Mod is a custom CM7-based ROM designed to be socially-aware, beautiful, fast and powerful - yet simple to use. We offer a tightly integrated package, with a custom launcher, reworked UI's, extended device settings and a Software Centre called Pyramid, giving you access to the latest themes, tweaks and apps. Consider it CyanogenMod for the rest of us!
Why are you telling me this?
RA-Mod is currently being developed for the Samsung Galaxy 3 (XDA link), which I own. While working on RA-Mod, we thought it would be a good idea to expand RA-Mod to other devices and I remembered that I still had my first Android phone, the LG Optimus GT540, lying around somewhere...
I then messaged Dympy (RA-Mod founder), asking if he wanted a GT540 port - I think you can guess the reply...
OSSIM! What happens now?
It would really help me out if I knew who wants RA-Mod for the GT540, so I can judge if the port is viable or not. Before I even commit to the port, I want to make it known I have schoolwork etc., so I cannot guarantee ETAs etc. However, I'll try my best to get it out as soon as possible...
I haven't looked in the GT540 forums for a while, so I don't know the current state of ROMs on here. I understand there is a fully-working CM7 port - does anyone know if this is open to people modifying and redistributing (like the G3 CM7 port)? I don't want to tread on anybody's toes by using their work when they don't want me to. Of course, I'll fully credit the author(s?) of it

only difference between the 2 is cm version. miro's 7.2 and mur4ik's 7.1 and graphics performance

XBMC for Android

I was reading today that the source code for XBMC has been made available to compile an APK.
What's your thoughts on this?
I have to say this should be great.

Thats a shame. I would have loved to give it a whirl. Any news on if there is going to be any Dev on XDA for the TF101?
If so maybe set up a new thread with all the info needed to compile the APK.
By the way anybody looking for the source kan find it here: https://github.com/xbmc/android
The guide to compile the APK can be located here: https://github.com/xbmc/android/blob/android-rebase-8/docs/README.android

The app looks amazing, but the volume on videos seems very low. Anyone else having an issue?
Edit: Ignore that, seems the volume control for xbmc doesn't override the system volume, that and I'm an idiot.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Having the sound issueś aswell and can´t find the option in XBMC to edit sound levels.
Also is anyone having issue´s with force close. I don´t know if it is a JellyBean issue of if it is because of the early stages the app is still in.
But great work on getting it working :good:
I only just heard of xbmc a few weeks ago and now i have the pleasure of trying this. I can confirm that this works too, but im having a bit of trouble with some unpleasant stuttering for some avi files. anyone get this running flawlessly for them, or have newer update(s)?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app
Video works fine, I have no sound on tv streams (icefilms, 1channel etc), force closes at random times and an occasional flickering of the screen other then that XBMC itself is looking great I always thought the XBMC interface would work well with a touchscreen device and it does!
